Connect with Markham’s creative communities at PechaKucha Markham! We know what you’re asking: What is a PechaKucha? PechaKucha (the Japanese word for chit-chat) is not your typical slide show: presenters share their ideas in 20 slides x 20 seconds each, no exceptions.

Admission is Pay-What-You-Want so please give generously. $1 from each attendee's donation is contributed towards the Global PechaKucha Night fund to support over 1000 cities holding these events around the world.

Grab a glass of beer or wine (cash bar), and enjoy complimentary appetizers and music. At the break, enjoy a PechaKucha-style exhibition tour.
